but unlike liberals, conservatives seek news which reinforces their previously held belief systems
Actually your link could just as easily be interpreted as evidence that Fox News has a more engaging lineup with a wider variety of viewers, and thus isn't overly conservative.

okay? You actually hear this often? Cause I don't.
I never hear it. I actually listen to NPR in the car and watch Fox at home (if I want to see the news).

The fact remains that if you are choosing either extreme you are consciously choosing to consume information with more slant than available alternatives. Period.
That is not a fact just because your assumption is that Fox is as far to the right as MSNBC is to the left....which is entirely dependent on your own personal political beliefs. That also doesn't take into account practical, non-political reasons people watch whatever they watch.
